Effect of thickness of a-Si remain on TFT characteristics
The effects of different a-Si remain thickness of channel on the electrical properties of TFT were studied under dark and photo test environments. The thickness of a-Si remain in channel was changed by adjusting the etching time. Futhermore
the stable region and the critical point of radical change of electrical were found through this experiment. The experimental results show that the electrical characteristics of TFT devices are relatively stable and fluctuate slightly when the thickness of a-Si remain is between 30% and 48% in dark environment. When the remaining thickness is less than 30%
the TFT characteristics become worse
I
on
becomes smaller
V
th
becomes larger
and the mobility decreases consequently. Unlike dark condition
I
off
is the chief consideration under photo circumstance. When the thickness of a-Si remain is less than 43%
photo
I
off
is relatively low (less than spec 20 pA)
and the trend of change is relatively slow. But when the residual thickness is more than 43%
photo
I
off
increases by 25%
and the trend of change is steep. In conclusion
when the thickness of a-Si remain is between 30% and 43%
the electrical characteristics of TFT are better and relatively stable regardless of test conditions.
